Project Information
Buro Happold was commissioned to provide masterplanning services for Kuwait University’s new campus.
This high profile project enabled the consolidation of the previously disparate colleges into one purpose-built campus. Masterplanning presented a variety of challenges, including responding to difficult climatic conditions, ensuring site security and meeting sustainability guidelines.
Access to and within the campus was also a key consideration, so our transport planning team carried out traffic engineering studies to ensure that the large car park, buildings and spaces are connected by a safe network of link roads and walkways. To be built on a 1,285 acre undeveloped site, the campus will include16 colleges, support facilities and accommodate 30,000 full time students and staff.
